Turning Point USA (TPUSA) is a right-wing 501(c)(3) organization, with a mission to “build the most organized, active, and powerful conservative grassroots activist network on high school and college campuses across the country.”[1]
The group funnels money to right-wing candidates for student government at universities across the country and has faced numerous allegations of racial discrimination.
TPUSA is funded by a variety of right-wing mega-donors, including the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, the Ed Uihlein Family Foundation, Foster Friess, Michael Leven and various Koch brothers-affiliated groups, such as the Foundation for Economic Education, DonorsTrust and Donors Capital Fund.
TPUSA was founded by the late Bill Montgomery and the late Charlie Kirk in 2012. It claims to be the “largest and fastest growing youth organization in America” with “a presence on over 3,500 college campuses and high schools across the country.”[1]
TPUSA’s sister 501(c)(4) advocacy organization, Turning Point Action, was established in 2019. Two years later, TPUSA launched Turning Point Faith in 2021 to “address America’s crumbling religious foundation by engaging thousands of pastors nationwide” in order to “breathe renewed civic engagement into our churches,” according to a prospectus obtained by the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD). In 2022, Turning Point Action created a federal political action committee, Turning Point PAC.[2]
